Virtual Hugs Return! Round 3~

Is it time for another round of virtual hugs? ːsteamhappyː Well, if it isn't, then too bad! Here we go with Round 3! >D

How you've been doin' recently? Have you been well? If you're a dude, have you shaved recently? Maybe you should...unless you're growin' out that wizard beard, then go all for it! :D

Maybe you should go out and get yourself a treat today. It doesn't have to be something big--a chocolate bar will do. But do something to reward yourself. You've been working hard, and you've earned it. :3

Either way, here's your virtual hug for today, and your reminder that you're pretty cool sometimes, you know? :) You're doin' good.

(For those of you wondering how the game is going, the results are...mixed. XD)

Now let's get to the fun part...the videos! XD

Watch on YouTube

First up is this cute little video of a Chinchilla dancing. Why a Chinchilla? I don't know. But now I want one. XD

(Steam hates shorts, apparently... >_>)
Next up is this surrealist Youtube channel I've found where this girl has the NPC Idle Cycle down to a tee! It really just shows off the absurdity of videogames sometimes. XD

Lastly, is this fun little video of the three Links boogieing! Why not have a little fun today and party hard! ːsteamsunnyː

Is this just turning into a series of me sharing the videos I find on Youtube Shorts? Who knows! XD But they brightened up my day, so why not share them around? :3

And, I don't know if you guys are interested at all in my Asian Drama suggestions, but I know that there was another one I saw called the Romance of Tiger and Rose (turn on subtitles). One thing I admire about it is that it really tried to tackle sexism head on, for both genders. I don't want to give too much away, since I love the premise, but what I will tell you is that it centers around this fantasy-medieval-Chinese-land where there are two prominent cities... One ruled by Male Chauvinists and the other ruled by Female Misandrists. The main guy in the story is a prince from Male Chauvinist Town and is sent off to go marry a princess of Female Misandrist Town. Things go awry in multiple ways.

One thing I absolutely love about this series is how, through the absurdist situation presented in Female Misandrist Town, really just goes to show how petty sexism is in general. At the end of the day we're all human, and we should really just treat each other better regardless of differences. A lot of the characters are pretty well written, to the point where the story would still be good, even if the genders were reversed.

One problem I have with the show is that it feels rushed. Like, there's another large factor in the story I didn't go into, but that aspect of the script feels like it was at least partially based on a true story, which probably resulted in last minute rewrites. The story is still good, and I still highly recommend the show to people who are interested, but it just doesn't feel like it quite lives up to its full potential.

Anyway, your thoughts? Should I keep recommending random Asian Dramas we've watched, or should this just be a fun little place for cute animal videos and the like? Leave your comments down below to let me know what you guys prefer! ^w^
